Re: To Serve and Protect
Sensible stuff.
The latest report from the Independent Office for Police Conduct raises the question as to whether the Metropolitan police can ever be trusted to reform itself (Met officers joked about raping women, police watchdog reveals, 1 February). The list of crimes proven against officers in recent years is as shocking as it is long, ranging from an apparent endemic culture of racism, misogyny, homophobia and bullying, to corruption, rape and murder.
It is time to strip back the Met from its bloated and pernicious condition, and reform it with new leadership, a new name and a remit to engage with the diverse communities that it claims to serve, not just the white middle classes and the establishment. It is a failing organisation with an annual budget approaching £4bn, much of which could be better spent in regenerating the deprived and marginalised communities that the Met has played a part in stigmatising.
Increasing police budgets has not led to a reduction in crime. It is time to divert the money to social and infrastructure investments, which would make a real difference to communities. Now that would be levelling up.

Trying to fit up OFF for a crime he didn't commit is the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Cressida OUT!

Booting him out the nick at 4.20am with no brekkie was what did it for me, almost worse than the fit up.
